Midori

Midori Hatsune is a young fanmade Vocaloid, often seen as a sibling to Vocaloid Hatsune Miku. Her name consists of the words 音緑 (Hatsune), meaning "first sound", and 緑 (Midori) - meaning ''"green". ''This refers to her colour scheme.

Original Design
Midori's style of hair are short pigtails tied up by small white bows. Her bangs are clipped up to the side of her face and forehead, fashioned with a white bear design. Around her neck is a lengthy, black and green patterned scarf worn along the top of her white long-sleeved dress. The left corner of her dress has her serial number, "33". The hemline of her dress is stroked with a green outline and filled with little black musical notes. She has white kneesocks and black boots with green soles. Around her right thigh, a black and green chain can be seen, which has a white bow attached to it. Her headphones are bear shaped. She also wears heart shaped green earrings.

Virus Design
Hatsune Midori's Virus design is currently a work in progress.

Personality
Midori is quite a bubbly child, seeking knowledge. She was made at age fourteen, and thus has no childhood. Due to this fact, she tends to ask a lot of small questions about how things work, since she has no knowledge of the world around her.

Unfortunately, because of this fact, she is rather gullible and oblivious to social cues. Midori's innocence goes to an extent where she considers almost everyone she meets a friend; because of this, she can't really tell if someone has good or bad intentions, which can be a little dangerous if she's on her own.

Background
Midori isn't a Vocaloid, but an android made by a company, which has been working on androids that give service to their owners. They can be used for various tasks such as cleaning, helping with business-related work, or even as sexual partners. They would also be able to learn things with an integrated learning software installed in them.

The company began to develop the first beta androids of the series, and once the most stable beta android was finally built, they named it Midori.

These androids would use the Vocaloid software to voice themselves and communicate with the user. Because of this, and because it would be a nice way to attract the media and possible customers, the designs of this Midori android were quite similar to the popular Vocaloid Hatsune Miku. This caught the fandom's eye and many begun to see the little android as Miku's younger sister, even to the extent where some would call her "Midori Hatsune" rather than just "Midori."



She gained some popularity in the fandom for a while, until the company was bought out by a millionaire and the project went on a public hiatus. The project's website wasn't updated for several years and it was thought to have been abandoned.

During this time, Midori suffered a major swap in her software. The programmers had a change of plans and installed something different into her— a "virus". A program that would activate whenever they sent certain signal. One that would follow their orders remotely and disregard the owners. Along with this program being installed in her system, new body parts were built into her. New arms that turn into dangerous weapons and all sort of other things of the sort.

Midori's system didn't work quite well with this new virus software inside of her. It was installed into her yet it didn't respond to the signals they sent, nor did it follow their orders properly. The programmers tried to fix this but the coding was corrupted to the point that it was better to start over with a brand new project and trash Midori.

Midori woke up in a dead end surrounded by garbage. She wandered aimlessly for a while without any idea of what was happening around her. She stayed at other people's places because they pitied her condition. Midori met most of her current friends this way.

Voice configuration
Midori's voice is known for being squeaky and bright; this is usually archieved by lowering the gender factor on the voice configuration. Kagamine Rin's voicebank is usually used to voice Midori, though some people have used Miku's in the past.

If the voice configuration is set up properly, almost any female Vocaloid can voice her (or any with a relatively high voice).

Virus Form
Midori's virus form is triggered when she is exposed to an overwhelming feel of negative emotions (such as getting incredibly stressed or angry). Unfortunately, she has no memories of the virus' existence so she can't really control it. However, considering that she rarely gets upset to the point of meltdown, the virus hardly ever appears.

When the virus does get triggered, her physical appearance changes, looking like a glitched-up version of herself. Virus has no emotion nor empathy towards others, she only knows how to destroy which is the complete opposite to Midori's personality.

Only Virus has access to the weapons hidden in Midori's arms.

Midori and Virus do not share memories.

Virus does not respond to the name "Midori", she responds to "Murasaki", however.

Trivia

 * In 2009, Midori was actually named "Nikki Hatsune ". Her design was a blue dress, a purple tie, blue Rin hair, a blue sailor tie, and blue boots and sleeves. Around 2010 the creator changed her whole appearence, including a name change.
 * She's said to have had a crush on Kagamine Len. Even though this was true back when she was known as Nikki, it's no longer canon in the character.
 * On January 20th, 2011, Midori started dating a character named Chiaki though this stopped in 2012 and is no longer canon.
 * Midori has a white bear named Komaru which is a companion to her. This bear is an android and also plays a protective role towards her. She is very rarely seen without her bear.
 * Midori's backstory was entirely rewritten on 2014. Going from just a corrupted vocaloid to what she currently is.
 * She might also fall in the OCloid category because of her backstory.
 * Midori's innocent and oblivious behaviour comes from her personality not being completed by her programmers. This is also why she is often very clueless about many topics.
 * The number 33 represents the number of attempts it took the programmers to finally get Midori to what she is now.
 * Midori's outfit was changed in 2012 . Canonically, the original dark outfit was designed by the company that created her, while her current outfit was made by one of her friends along with herself.
